I'm on a medication that has killed my appetite (and my brain)...but I made a soup using shrimp stock, clams, green beans, rice noodles, veal, fish sauce (?), soy sauce, Chinese 5-spice, green curry paste. I added grated apple to the stock and some grated radish. At the end, I added some chopped Chard and fresh cilantro and lime juice to the soup. Topped it with oven-fried won-tons.

CW, just want to let you know it's good you're back - and also you did more work for your dinner tonight than I do on a night I really feel like cooking! You rock!

Woke up lazy and it's been downhill ever since. Ended up making pasta, trying a new sauce I bought on sale with a coupon. Something by Gina Rispoli, an Arrabiata style. Himself loves spicy, while I prefer less heat. Lordy lordy, was it good! I took a small serving and made it through, but took more and had it with a little butter, fresh-grated parm, and a sprinkle of dipping spices. Taste buds are happy now!
